Jumbo Chicken, Spinach and Herb Burgers

  • Mar. 6th, 2008 at 2:55 PM
I had some button mushrooms that needed to get used up, as they were looking a little wilty. Paging through the book (see source below), this was the first recipe I happened upon that included them.

These were some truly enormous and tasty chicken burgers. Although fully loaded with mushrooms, Swiss, lettuce and tomato on top, it's still just a burger, so you'd probably want to add some chips or fries on the side.

Again, a look at the name of the recipe is a Rachael Ray dead giveaway. This was a really tasty dish, although slightly too spicy for comfort. Next time, go easier on the jalapeños!

The sandwich was poached and then shredded BBQ chicken on a hamburger bun. All went well except the chicken wasn't fully cooked after poaching for the suggested amount of time, so it was difficult to shred and had to be cooked longer during the BBQ step. The potato salad was made of red peppers, jalapeños, scallions and red potatoes and was awesome! It was really fresh-looking and -tasting.

With a name like that, you know this recipe is from Ms. Rachael Ray. And let me tell you it was GOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

Since there are three separate components (burgers, fries, slaw) to this meal, it is a bit time-consuming. However, Julia didn't have much trouble with the timing. The steps are laid out well enough that there were no frantic moments, and it all came together smoothly.

That said, this was possibly the spiciest and most filling meal in memory!
